Housing TRU


  1. For trade students, it's advisable not to apply directly but to email admin@truresidence.ca to inquire about availability as it is on a case-by-case basis. No specific rooms are allocated for trade students, so they must email their program dates to be considered for a shortlist. Trades students can request a housing preference when they reach out to them and they will consider that, but ultimately, it will be based on when and where they have availability.
  2. All TRU residence buildings permit auto-shut-off appliances. Specifically, McGill and North Tower as they don’t have cooking units within the suite.
  3. The gender-inclusive option for McGill housing is included on the housing application when they apply. Students who are interested only need to indicate so on the application.
  4. North Tower, McGill & Coyote Den have secured bike storage.
  5. Coyote Den primarily offers shared rooms, with only 13 singles available on a case-by-case basis.
  6. Starting in September 2024, East Village buildings D & E will be designated for family housing.
